Some of the nobles of the kingdom who were panicked by the attack on the rear spoke one after another——
"Damn, how could this happen!"
"It''s the duty of adventurers to deal with a large number of undead people emerging from the cemetery? What are those guys who clearly live under our management but refuse to participate in the war at this time?"
"This must be a good thing done by the Empire. Don''t they like to work with undead to make themselves lazy? Isn''t it strange to do such a thing?"
"Yes! And I heard that the undead killed our army and destroyed our supplies, and then disappeared. It must be the Empire. It seems that they have regarded our people as theirs. It''s arrogant!"
Anyone with a little brain can think of it.
At present, the army, which should have lost 20000 people, has lost everything that should have been left to junior officers. Compared with the undead riots in the rear, this matter is ranked behind.
It''s not that it''s not sad to lose the 20000 people, because the military directly under the central government of the Kingdom and the nobles in various territories quarrel with each other. Sometimes it makes people happy that the military of hostile factions or nobles with poor relations has suffered heavy losses.
It''s not that these people are stupid, but there are always people who think that until victory, the unlucky things will not fall on themselves and themselves. Until the Royal Army is at a disadvantage or even fails, I''m afraid people with this idea will not disappear. So——
"So the Empire has been peeping into our territory? It seems that there is another reason for this war." King rambusa I spoke. In any case, the loss is his country and people, but he can''t show too weak and a little regret here.
"The question is, what now? How long can the grain stored here last?" he asked, trying to calm down.
"A month and a half is enough," urowana said.
"Hehe, it can only last a month and a half, can''t it?" borumura, who happened to have no loss of the army, gloated.
"Then you can only put all your eggs in one basket." borolop remained strong, "If we collect food from the surrounding towns and villages, we can hold on for more time, but it will take more time to replenish weapons and consumables. I think we should let the troops besieging the city maintain the siege situation and other troops go around to attack the imperial rear, so that we can rob the materials of imperial towns for replenishment."
"Do you want to do that kind of thing to innocent people?" pespeia heckled. Compared with some nobles, he understood the role of people''s hearts on the territory. If he did such a thing, it would be difficult to appease. Even if troops were deployed to maintain order and stability, many royal armies were temporarily recruited "militia" with short training cycle In such a situation, it is still a question of who to help in private. If we further mobilize more elite troops, it will weaken the combat effectiveness of the front line.
"See what the Empire has done in our city? Is it still time to care about this! Are you an imperial or a royal aristocrat!" borolop tit for tat.
"What''s more, I didn''t say that I have always relied on that channel. As long as we ensure that this attack suppresses the enemy and have spare strength in strategy, the domestic reserve team can spare time to ensure ye pesper again." he also felt that it was inappropriate, adding.
"Wait, Marquis borolop, you have overlooked an important issue," urowana reminded, "We don''t have any information about that terrible cannon. We just learned that there are huge Graeme and armored troops in that city. How do you know how many such attacks can be made? How long can Graeme operate? Relying on tens of thousands of people who have suffered heavy blows and low morale, they may not be able to trap the imperial army. Maybe they can counterattack."
"... what do you say?" borolop thought his plan was the best one. Would he continue to stay here to increase consumption or retreat?
"We... All underestimate the Empire," urowana sighed and added, "I think the best solution now is to bypass andaru and enter the hinterland of the Empire as soon as possible while food and grass can be maintained."
He moved a chess piece on the map and said: "As far as I know, the giant guns and Graeme are very powerful. In that case, they need a lot of manpower and material resources. It must be very difficult to move at ordinary times. They can be used for defense and short-term assault, and they can''t March independently. Otherwise, they should take advantage of the chaos of our army to make a more active counterattack. I think those things must be what the Empire did before we started the attack They secretly sent it to andaru and mixed it with weapons disguised and mixed in during andaru''s collection of food and baggage from surrounding villages and towns. As long as we march quickly, they can''t catch up. If we leave the cannon and Graham to catch up, we won''t be our opponent. "
Part of the territory of urowana is connected to the border cities. Therefore, if there are enemy countries around, they will be exposed to danger in case of war. Therefore, we pay great attention to learn more about this knowledge. We have analyzed the way and weakness of Damon cannon and giant Graeme into the city, which is closely related to the facts.
The other nobles debated and discussed again, because no one wanted to retreat or stay to confront the terrible cannon and giant Graeme, so they basically agreed with urowana''s strategy.
The next question is how to March. It takes a lot of time to argue, because the aristocratic forces command their own forces, and coordination naturally requires a lot of effort.
After some time, a soldier entered the account and knelt down to announce: "Your Majesty, generals, your excellency Chloe belbagard, the chief paladin of the temple, asks for a meeting." his face revealed the joy of the rest of his life and a sense of excitement after shock.
"Hum, haven''t you seen us busy?"
"It''s enough for them to use magic to improve morale, combat effectiveness and treat wounded soldiers. What are you here to participate in?"
"Let him in." rambusa I said again. It is an organization that provides most medical and basic services to the country. It also allows the Royal Army to introduce technology and enhance its combat effectiveness. It is not easy to lose too much face.
Belbegde was dressed in shining paladin armor, silver armor and white armor robe. The sword at his waist was one of the weapons handed down by the "Thirteen heroes" who once settled in the holy kingdom.
He looked at the people through his mask and helmet, and the sharp light in his eyes made the guards of his royal family and nobles nervous for the first time. Although I don''t think this man will suddenly pull out his sword to kill him, one of the duties of the guard is to prevent one in ten thousand accidents.
